Justin Bieber Directs Traffic in Hamptons After Car Breaks Down on Date With Hailey Baldwin

Peak rom-com.

Long gone are the days of Justin Bieber's many troubling spats with local authorities. The singer, it seems, has turned over a new leaf with regards to his relationship with the police, even going so far as to step respectfully into their shoes after a roadside incident this week. On Monday, according to People, Justin and current flame Hailey Baldwin were driving a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG through the Hamptons when the sports car broke down in the middle of an intersection and, eventually, had to be towed away.

Before the tow truck and police officers could arrive to remedy the situation, though, The Cut reports, Justin took matters into his own hands. As seen in a video captured by someone at the scene and posted on Instagram by a fan account, the pop star hopped out of the car and stood on the side of the road to direct other drivers safely around the broken-down Mercedes, which was blocking an entire lane. For her part, Hailey stood on the opposite side of the road, watching as an energetic Justin waved cars through from multiple directions. The police and mechanic reportedly arrived quickly, however, putting an end to this ripped-from-the-rom-coms scene.

Hopefully, the stalled car won't have the same effect on Justin and Hailey's summertime romance, which has been heating up over the course of the last few weeks. The pair was first spotted making out in Brooklyn in mid-June, before taking a somewhat more demure walk hand-in-hand through Manhattan just a few days later. Most recently, the duo made their way back across the East River to Brooklyn for yet another PDA-filled outing, with Justin being photographed at one point holding the model's head in his hands and kissing her on the forehead.

This all comes, of course, mere weeks after Hailey adamantly stated that she and Justin, whom she previously dated in 2015 and 2016, were just friends. "I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends. Everybody knows that at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you're 18, 19. It was what it was," she told the U.K.'s The Times, adding that she and Justin then "went through a long period of time when we weren't friends." She continued, "We didn't speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on." They've since moved past the "weirdness" of a high-profile relationship, Hailey said. "But it brought both of us to the realization that we just work much better as friends," she said. "He's somebody I really cherish. Now it's a very mature situation. It's good."
